SpaceX to Provide Compute for Reflection AI — Major Contract for Open AI

Update from the AI world: Reflection AI has agreed with SpaceX to lease compute capacity at Colossus 2 data center.

Key points:
— Reflection will gain access to Nvidia GB300 and supporting infrastructure at Colossus 2 near Memphis under a contract paying $150M per month from July 1, 2026 through 2029 (up to $6.3B), with an option to terminate after the first three months with 90 days' notice (TechCrunch).
— The deal is smaller than SpaceX agreements with Anthropic and Google, but strategic for Reflection’s focus on open-weight models that publish parameters.

Why it matters: increased compute gives open projects a better chance to compete with closed labs and reduces reliance on a single supplier.

Do you think this will accelerate development of open models?
